Global Investment in Wind and Solar Energy Is Outshining Fossil Fuels

You fucked up liar! There were over 1000 square miles of forest burned in Oregon in 2021.

Oregon wildfires by the numbers: 826,000 acres, 174 homes ...

Oct 9, 2021 — Largest & most expensive wildfires of 2021. 1: Bootleg Fire. Size: 413,717 acres; Cost: $100,900,000; Cause: lightning; Location: 15 miles NW of ...
How does that prove global warming was the cause?

Recent research indicates that it is actually the stringent disallowance of controlled burns that is contributing to today’s wildfires. Fire suppression without controlled burns is the official United States forestry policy, which results in a build-up of dry underbrush over time. Such accumulated underbrush serves as kindling that can propel a wildfire into an extreme megafire.
 
You are such a lying POS.

What caused the 2019–20 Australian bushfires?​

Geoscience Australia states that lightning is the main natural cause of bushfires, accounting for about half of all cases:


The CSIRO states that the most common cause of bushfires is lightning and that fires started by people are mostly accidental:


The NSW RFS reported that the Gospers Mountain fire was started by lightning on 26 October 2019 and ‘burnt through more than 512,000 hectares across the Lithgow, Hawkesbury, Hunter Valley, Cudgegong, Blue Mountains and Central Coast local government areas’.

On 3 February 2020 local media reported that the Kangaroo Island fires had been started by lightning. According to the Victorian Country Fire Authority (CFA) and the NSW RFS, the majority of the 2019–20 fires in Victoria and NSW were caused by lightning. However, it was reported in mid-January that the main cause of the December 2019 fires in Tasmania was arson, with a Tasmanian Fire Service spokesperson quoted as saying ‘Approximately 21,000 of the 35,000 hectares burnt is a result of deliberately lit fires’.

A discarded cigarette was believed to be the accidental cause of the Binna Burra fire in the Gold Coast hinterland in September 2019 and the Orroral Valley fire in the ACT in January 2020 was ‘likely caused by a landing light from an Army MRH-90 helicopter, while the aircraft was on the ground’.
Australia's Epic Fires Caused By Bad Forestry And Arson, Not Climate Change
 
A lying denialist quoting lying denialists.

A lying warmer quoting a lying warmer. See how that works?
 
WTF do those [mini] ANECDOTES have to do with the Macro-Stats/Movement I posted in the OP.

You're Stupid.
Understand?
You argue by Stupid.
And NO one even claimed it was even near a majoritry of CURRENT use YET.
Whether I have solar panels on my roof, or you have gas leases, means NOTHING to the overall debate, and numbers I posted.
It's called:

ie
Your logical fallacy is anecdotal
You used a personal experience or an isolated example instead of a sound argument or compelling evidence.
It's often much easier for people to believe someone's testimony as opposed to understanding complex data and variation across a continuum. Quantitative scientific measures are almost always more accurate than personal perceptions and experiences, but our inclination is to believe that which is tangible to us, and/or the word of someone we trust over a more 'abstract' statistical reality.​
Example: Jason said that that was all cool and everything, but his grandfather smoked, like, 30 cigarettes a day and lived until 97 - so don't believe everything you read about meta analyses of methodologically sound studies showing proven causal relationships.​

Just answer a simple question. Do you have solar panels at home?
 
18% of electrical generation by renewables in 2017, more this year, and even more next year. And then there are those that put adequate solar on their roof, with battery storage, and power their vehicle and home themselves.
As long as my lights stay on and the electric is cheap, I don't give two hoots if it's from hamsters running around on a wheel.

If the electric is expensive and prone to power outages, I'll be damn annoyed.
 
Global Investment in Wind and Solar Outshines Fossil Fuels

or, in plain english

Global investment in Wind and Solar is Extremely Expensive Compared to Fossil Fuels

of course there is more money spent on wind and solar which only offer a tiny trickle of electricity. You must build by the square mile, for years, before we even have a small percentage of our electricity come from wind or solar

Renewables and EV's are so good, companies and people are given subsidies to take them on.

Solar is now ‘cheapest electricity in history’, confirms IEA

The world’s best solar power schemes now offer the “Cheapest…electricity in History” with the technology cheaper than coal and gas in most major countries.

""The world’s best solar power schemes now offer the “Cheapest…electricity in history” with the Technology Cheaper than Coal and Gas in Most major countries.

That is according to the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2020. The 464-page outlook, published today by the IEA, also outlines the “extraordinarily turbulent” impact of coronavirus and the “highly uncertain” future of global energy use over the next two decades....."

Bullshit. Does that count all the subsidies it receives? Does it include the 100% backup from fossil fuels it requires?

And now the utilities are actually encouraging customers to put in solar and batteries and be part of a VPP.

Utilities find VPP benefits

Some utilities in the Northeast have established VPP programs. Three utilities (Eversource, National Grid, Cape Light Compact) working in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island have combined forces under the ConnectedSolutions program to pay customers annual incentives to access behind-the-meter stored energy. The program is set up as a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) design, and payout is determined by the brand of battery and how much it is used.


Vermont installer SunCommon wraps up a Tesla Powerwall install
Vermont utility Green Mountain Power (GMP) has also started a BYOD program, but it really put itself on the map in 2017 as the first utility in the country to partner specifically with Tesla to use customer Powerwalls in a VPP. GMP’s use of 3,000 Powerwalls installed in customers’ homes, along with utility-scale batteries, resulted in more than $3 million in reduced grid and electricity costs for customers in 2020.
 
Now dumb little fuck finger solar, through VPP's is addressing the backup issue head on. Add in grid scale storage, and we no longer need poisonous fossil fuel generation.
How many trillions will that cost? How are they addressing the "backup" issue without resorting to fossil fuels or a hugely expensive storage system?

Little miss fuck finger, you are obviously one dumb ass. Why the hell don't you read the article, or at least look up what a VPP is before you make such a silly fool of yourself. LOL

The article doesn't mention the term "VPP." dumbass. Why should I look up some term you decided to use?

Dumb little miss fuck finger, the post just prior to the post you quoted has the link to a full article on VPP's. Of course you do not have to look up what a VPP is. That is your whole goal in life, remaining as ignorant and stupid as possible. By the way, as two states and the Federal government is handing out indictments, guess who is shitting their pants. It sure isn't Biden.

In other words, it doesn't matter what it means. If it was important you would just explain what it means. You spew bile about because you know it won't help your case.

Here is what it means.

In Chicago, we won't need natural gas power to backup our solar, during the cloudy, snowy winter, because our neighbors, who are depending on solar, during the cloudy, snowy winter, will have a nifty battery system that will store enough power for the electric company to borrow their extra for us to use to make up for the shortfall of our solar panels.


Make sense now? LOL!
